Furnace Puff Backs: A Messy Disaster for Your Home in New Haven?

10/29/2024 (Permalink)

We are trained and certified to restore fire, smoke, and soot damage in Macomb County.

Our Northeast Macomb Township team restores soot damage caused by furnace puff backs every year in New Haven. A furnace puffback is an explosive burst of soot and smoke that can fill a home’s ventilation system, covering walls, furniture, and surfaces with oily soot residue. Puffbacks occur when unburned oil in the furnace ignites and sends smoke through the heating system. The resulting soot is difficult to clean and can spread throughout the home’s air ducts.

Homeowners can prevent puffbacks by ensuring their furnaces receive annual inspections and maintenance. Dirty or malfunctioning furnaces are more likely to cause these soot explosions. If a puffback does occur, homeowners should not attempt to clean up the soot themselves, as improper cleaning can make the problem worse.

Our highly trained technicians have the equipment and experience to clean soot damage from the entire home, including air ducts and HVAC systems, removing soot and soot odors. Addressing a puff back quickly will keep your furnace working at its best and ensure a clean, safe environment for your family.
